Pretty cool.
I wonder if Stihl made any rifles...DSCN0001_InPixio - Copy.jpg DSCN0003_InPixio - Copy.jpg DSCN0004_InPixio - Copy.jpg

From the net: Holden Brink, an authority on Swedish military firearms, the M-67/89 rifles made by Carl Gustafs and Husqvarna were among the finest rolling blocks ever turned out. In order to pass proof for smokeless powder, new barrels, breechblocks and hammers were all made of high-grade Swedish tool steel alloyed with nickel, copper and vanadium, a product noted for its strength and corrosion resistance. Even the receivers, which serve basically as a frame in the rolling block design, were rehardened and the case colors remain bright today on many examples. You don't want to hot rod a 140-year-old rifle, of course, but so long as the weapon is in good condition and the loads are kept to reasonable pressures, there's no reason why the 8x57R rolling block can't be as useful to us today as it has been to generations of Scandinavianhunters.

I always sort of liked the Husky motor cycles they started making in 1903.

Started making lawn mowers in 1918

Were big into cast iron kitchen tools in 1887 like grinders for meat and such.

Wasn't untill 1959 they started production of chain saws. 1969 was the first chan saw company to launch thre anti vib system in chain saws.

1978/79 Electrolux buys Huskvarna.

1980's aquired Polan and Roper out door products.

1995 First solor powered robtic lawn mower.

So much more even. 2006 Husky become independant again and is listed by the stock board.


Sort of a MTD of Sweden.
